We hear a lot of good things about Acai Berry. In fact, it is recommended so much, that most of the people seriously consider trying Acai. However there is one concern that many have, how does Acai Berry taste?
While we know how healthy it is and that it allows us to fight numerous diseases, truth about Acai’s taste is brutal… It is incredibly bitter. Acai isn’t something you would take on a lonely island because of its taste. In fact it is so awful majority of people have trouble getting past it’s taste.
Of course, because of the high demand for this fruit, manufacturers of Acai Berry products try to improve its flavour. You can accomplish it either by adding some other fruits that will “disguise” Acai’s taste or by adding sugar or artificial sweeteners.
The result of this process is quite obvious, Acai alone is very beneficial for our health but when you try to make it meet taste standards of average consumer, the nutritional values of Acai are put on the second place. In many tasty Acai products, there is a little of Acai or the amount of sugar in one portion, that you shouldn’t consume throughout the entire day.
If we will add to that, that this is processed food. What I mean by processed is, that it is boiled or cooked in some way to make it taste better. Most of the people are aware that the rawer the food the better it is for our health. Actually we deal with obesity problems mainly because of the products advertised as made from healthy fruits, but in reality having little to do with their natural equivalents.
Acai product that has the biggest taste issues is Acai juice. When it comes to juice from Brazilian berry, the more bitter it is the purer and healthier it is for you. That is why Acai juices from Brazilian rain forests are worst tasting, but also the healthiest ones on the market.
Just to give you an idea how bitter the taste of Acai juice is, most of the producers recommend to take only 2 tablespoons of Acai juice at a time. It is because some people experience nausea, because of the bitterness of Acai juice.
As you can see, Acai Berry taste is a big issue. While many manufacturers are trying to address this problem, it is obvious they can’t resolve it without messing up the goodness of Acai. Thankfully there is a lot of Acai Berry products that are in pill form and thus make this problem go away.
